I did a TM run today because I wanted to do a run slightly under my goal MP and I thought it might be the best way to do it because it stays flat. I did a .5 mile warmup and then did 12.5 miles at a 6:58 pace. I had to stop because the TM ends after 30 minutes and I had to take a couple bathroom breaks (which concerns me a little) but I was able to get the 12.5 miles done. I was tired by the end of it but I have put in a lot of miles the past week, it was in the afternoon, and I really didn't each much before the run. Overall I felt good, but I was honestly hoping to feel a little better. Maybe after this week and 2 weeks of taper my body will respond and I will be able to keep that pace for the full 26.2. Time will only tell.
